The last several years witnessed a dramatic increase in awareness around the importance of clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) as the foundation of effective healthcare and infection prevention. As awareness grew about the global need for WASH inside healthcare facilities, the world found itself needing to mobilize and strengthen healthcare systems to address COVID-19.

Faith-inspired health providers play a massive role in delivering healthcare to those in greatest need and can represent more than 50% of healthcare facilities in a given region. These organizations offer passionate and professional healthcare providers whose impact extends from newborns and families to whole communities.

Now the faith-inspired community is stepping up again, joining a global movement to help fill the crucial void that leaves WASH unavailable in healthcare facilities worldwide.

Accordingly, this report will:

• Describe the WASH in healthcare facilities challenge, its solvability, and how solutions are being implemented by a range of actors, including faith-inspired actors;
• Celebrate the diversity, commitments and achievements of these faith-inspired actors;
• Encourage new partnerships across secular, public and faith institutions by connecting partners and funders to the WASH in healthcare facilities
• Community of Practice to ensure that more healthcare facilities achieve basic WASH coverage
